Yes, You Can Buy Yourself Flowers & Mom, Too

{ Via: Kate Spade }

 Flowers are a lovely gift any time of the year, for any reason. But they do fade and that is always sad. When putting this post together, I was thinking of mothers, spring, and women in general. There is something for gifting yourself or a woman you love. These floral forward finds will not fade. If you are thinking Mother's Day.....better get going.

Baum & Pferdgarten Sweater

Just the sweetest look. A cotton sweater can be worn all year long, and becomes the light layer you need on a chilly flight, at the movies, or in a restaurant. This is a new designer to me. And I love it.

Anthropologie

Leather Double Bracelet 

A late addition to this post. It just now came across my desk. How fun and favulous! The fora motif softens the black leather. It also comes in white. Gucci will overnight it to you for free, if you order by May 7th. $330

Florals Have Bloomed For Spring:

{ Via Alice+Olivia}

As Amanda Priestly once said "Florals? For Spring? Groundbreaking." She was right. But this season's flowers aren't your average garden variety. They are muted and modern, bold and beautiful, hand painted and haute. In other words, they are different. Which daisy will you pick?

A refined statement piece that moves with you. I love the illusion of the florals.

Saturdays At Shop This

 

In honor of the silly time change this Sunday morning, we begin the weekend wrap up with this Chanel watch. Oh My! I am not much of a watch wearer, but this one, if given, I would wear every day. So it's time for the weekend wrap up. Enjoy this post of lovely links, inspiration, and sales!

Oscar de la Renta's cocktail dress is one of the prettiest dresses of the season. Lace and 3D flowers create a divine. dreamy, and decidedly chic look. See the Fall '26 trunkshow at Moda Operandi. Yes, it is crazy expensive, but wow!

Did you know that Etsy  sells wallpaper? I would venture to guess that the selection is better than anything you can find at the paint store. This is a modern wood block wallpaper mural. Very chic as an accent wall. 

RMS Beauty has come out with a new  Gel2Powder Eyeshadow. They come in quartet palletes.  There are four color stories with a mix of multi-finish shades ~ matte, satin, and metallic.  I will be trying this soon.

With Passover and Easter coming up, flowers might be in order to send or for your own table. If you would like to go beyond the average FTD bouquet, try Urban Stems. They hand deliver in NYC, and ship everywhere else. And they go beyond just flowers. You can send gifts, too. I have never been disappointed. Take note!

If you like a Pucci print, you will love Jeffery Campbell wedges.

Pink plates for spring? What a lovely idea. Even if you just mixed the side plates in with your own white dinnerware. The Costa Nova sets are a breath of fresh air.

Skeem Match Cloche I love these. They make a perfect host or hostess gift. Perfectly priced for gifting. Available in three colors. 

There's a spring refresh going on at "Haven Well Within." found lots of "girl gifts" there at Christmas. I especially love their loungewear. Everything is 25% off this weekend, including sale things.

These Alohas sneakers are a fun find for springing ahead.

Nordstrom's Half Yearly Sale will be a good one, as usual. But what's on my radar are the beauty, skincare, and frangrance products on sale now. I found Armani Beauty, Kiehl's, Laura Mercier and much more.

Pamper yourself. The Goop List of 12 Exceptional Destination Spas and Wellness Retreats is full of destination details. It's a great guide with photos.

Father's Day Deals at Banana Republic Factory. Everything is 50% off with an extra 20% off at checkout. I can reccomend their Linen Shop for men ~ shorts, shirts, sweaters, and jackets.  It's helpful that they come in XXL sizes, too.

Mark & Graham's Summer Collab with Business & Pleasure is so good looking! And it is chock full with everything you need for fun in the sun.

If you ever wondered: Here's How To Dry and Preserve Flowers from Better Homes & Gardens. I never knew how.

Have a Beautiful Weekend!
